Police Say Peters Man Drives Drunk with No Headlights and Suspended License

On Oct. 15 at approximately 2:51 a.m., police observed a vehicle with no headlights on traveling south on Brownsville Road near the Brownsville-Knoedler Road intersection in Baldwin.

The officer pulled the vehicle over near the Brownsville-Hacienda Drive intersection, and upon speaking with the driver of the vehicle—Brian George Dunn, 29, of 228 Bunker Hill Drive in Peters Township—the officer reported smelling an alcoholic beverage. When the officer checked Dunn’s driving record, he learned that Dunn's driver’s license was suspended due to a prior DUI conviction.

The officer put Dunn through field-sobriety tests, which he failed, before also subjecting him to a breath-analyzer test. The officer reported that Dunn failed that test, as well.

The officer arrested Dunn on suspicion of DUI and transported him to Jefferson Regional for a blood test. Results of that test are pending. 

Dunn was eventually released to a friend. Dunn is also being charged with driving with a suspended license and failure to meet general lighting requirements.
